    I purchased and installed Windows 7, on 19 Dec 2009, my copy was Authenticated and I have been using Windows 7 every since and receiving all Microsoft Updates my last 3 MS Updates were 12 May - KB978542 and on 26 May 2010 - KB982632 and KB981793.   I run Norton 2010 Internet Security, with all current updates. 

    And for some reason today when I booted, I received the message "This Copy of Windows is not Genuine" and when I attempt to use System, Windows Activation, You must Activate Windows today and enter my Product Key, I receive the message "Victim of Software Counterfeiting" with 4 options to Retype, Buy, Use Automatic Phone or Contact Microsoft.

    Another thing I notice after trying to find a solution, one suggestion was to Restore to a Previous point & time.  Now all of a sudden my System Restore was turned off.  It has always been on previously and I create Restore Points, when I install software or hardware.  And how would restoring to a previous point could possibly help, when I type in my 25 digit Product Key, I am told I am a "Victim of Software Counterfeiting"

    Miraculously, System Restore is now showing On and with Restore Points back to 14 Apr 2010.   And this should be Proof that my copy of Windows 7 Pro is Valid and To view these Restore Points and the above error messages visit - begnal-enterprises.com/genuine-windows/

    I manually ran Check for Updates, I receive the Caution "Optional update delivery is not working" and "You maybe a Victim of of Software Counterfeiting"

    I can see there are many topics on the same issue not only with Windows 7, but XP as well, so I am not alone and it is hard to find the Solution/Fix from so many message boards, similar topics regarding Windows Genuine Advantage.

    Which I do not understand why or how, since I know prior to this morning boot, I have had a Validated Copy, have my 25 digit Product Key and how else could I use Windows 7 for the last 6 months and get updates, if it was not a Genuine Validated Windows 7 Pro?

    Those two lines tell us that the key you were sold is an MSDN key, it was sold to you in violation of the terms the seller aquired it under. To make things worse the seller probably sold that key to multiple people causeing it to become blocked. Please read the blocked keys sticky and after reading it if you have any questions please feel free to ask them here.

    Those of us who answer these questions here do so voluntarily, none of us have any control over the status of your key or your activation/validation status but we will do our best to help. Darin, from MS can verify with 100% certainty the status of your key on Monday but don't hold false hope, this key is blocked and it is an MSDN key.

    The one thing that you left out is WHERE you bought your copy of Windows
    from. This is important, because there are a LOT of fake copies and dodgy
    keys being sold on eBay, Amazon, Craigslist and the like - and some are even
    turning up in the chain-stores!
     
    To your problems:-
     
    That appears to be an MSDN key - which has been blocked by MS because it has
    been activated too many times. It takes a lot of activations for that to
    occur (more than 10, anyway), and usually only if accompanied by similar
    counts for other software from the same subscription.
     
    MSDN and similar subscription licenses are sold solely on the basis that
    they are NOT transferable without the whole subscription moving to the new
    owner - and individual licenses cannot be sold for any reason.
     
    The fakers may well reckon that they can sell 10 copies of each key, and
    never get caught. They quite possibly could, but they are greedy, so push
    the limits of the system. Eventually their greed catches up with them, and
    all their victims, and the key gets blocked, and we get a rash of queries
    here.
     
    Hope this explains the situation a little - you now need to dig out your
    receipt for the software and demand a refund - NOT replacement! Any
    replacement is likely go the same way as the original did.
    You also need to file a complaint with the local police, if the fraudster
    refuses the refund - and in all cases, go to Microsoft's Piracy reporting
    mechanism, and file a report there. If they get enough complaints, they can
    take action. http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/

    Confirmed.

    This is a Blocked MSDN Product Key.

    I recommend arranging to return the software/key for a full refund. Do not accept a "new" key if the seller offeres it.  From experience, the new key will also be bad.  Get your money back and buy from a trusted retailer.

    Thank you,
